4.3.7 Advanced
Configuration options within the Advanced section are for users who wish to take
advantage of the more advanced features of the router. Users who do not understand the
features should not attempt to reconfigure their router, unless advised to do so by support
staff.
There are four items within the Advanced section: Static Route, Dynamic DNS, VLan
Control and Device Management.
4.3.7.1 Static Route
Click on Routing Table and then choose Create Route to add a routing table.
Destination: The destination subnet IP address.
Netmask: Subnet mask of the destination IP addresses based on above destination.
Gateway: The gateway IP address to which packets are forwarded.
Interface: Select the interface through which packets are forwarded.
Cost: Represents the cost of transmission for routing purposes. The number need not be
precise, but it must be between 0 and 65535.
4.3.7.2 Dynamic DNS
The Dynamic DNS function lets you alias a dynamic IP address to a static hostname, so if
your ISP does not assign you a static IP address you can still use a domain name. This is
especially useful for hosting servers via your ADSL connection, so that anyone wishing to
connect to you may use your domain name, rather than having to use your dynamic IP
address, which changes from time to time. This dynamic IP address is the WAN IP address
